The Cyrillic alphabet is much easier to learn if you have both the Latin and Greek alphabets memorized. I look forward to reading the forum more when I have the time.

I have already worked out a deal with the university book store to get the books that are used in the Russian courses. I have noticed that Russian uses inflection and that the word order is more flexible than English which shouldn’t be that much of an issue for me so long as I can learn the rules of it.
